Code Assistance

This is a discussion on Code Assistance within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; Ok Guy's,
Here is my code for a Tax Calculation program (beginning C Programming Concepts class). I am trying to ...

Thanks MK,
I will repost my code once I have made these fixes and fully understand what they do and how they do it.

P.S. I am using MS VC++ Express as my compiler. This code builds fine and when I run the "Start without Debugging" action it executes perfectly. However, when I attempt to compile it I get a "Cannot open source file:" error. What I need is an executable to post for my class but I have no idea how to get it from this program. Any ideas?

build == compile when using the VC menu options.
Technically build == compile+link but as there's no separate options for those in the VC GUI they're effectively the same as far as you're concerned unless you start using the commandline compiler and select specific options.

From my experience with Visual Studio 2005, "build" really does mean "compile and link", not just "compile". "Compile" is available by default from a drop down menu or a keyboard shortcut, and the GUI can be configured to add it to the toolbar as an icon option.

I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

That's what I meant, that there are no separate compile and link options in the VC menu
Could possibly have stated it a bit less ambiguously.
